As you can tell from the pictures above, today was a very busy day here at the Root Cellar.  Team #2 arrived this morning ready to roll up their sleeves and dig right in.  Matthew, Pastor and Lori, Cherith, Alexis and Hannah Smith; Joe Boechetti and Chelsea Giovanniello all pitched in together to make this one happy and exciting day for the kids here.  Pastor told the story of Jesus walking on water. Cherith and Chelsea did this amazing art project with the kids.  Matthew broke the kids down into small groups and they discussed the story and played games related to the story.  It was just like being back home in OSLC with our kids!  Lori made this amazing lunch of Spaghetti with sauce with very, very sweet lemonade courtesy of Matthew!  Alexis and Hannah kept the kids entertained all day too.  In fact not only did they entertain the kids, they also pitched in to help with the Kids Service Project.  We took the kids to a house around the corner from the Root Cellar where they had planted a beautiful vegetable garden in late May.  Last year, this same house, in the same back yard, was  a jungle!  In fact, some of last years team will recall hacking their way through the yard to try to find the fence.  Since last summer this yard as been transformed with the help of a grant from the city and the grace of God!  Not it is a sight of beauty and the best part is the veggies grown all go to the kids to take home or to the Root Cellar for their food distribution program.  See how God works?  O the wonder of it all!!
